Abu el Zulof receives praise for delicious, fresh flavors and generous portions, with many reviews highlighting authentic Middle Eastern dishes, welcoming service, and a lively, inviting atmosphere that sometimes features live music and a belly dancer. The experience is noted as great for sharing mezze and family meals, with several diners calling the prices worth it for the quality and portions, while others feel the value is not quite there and describe the bills as overpriced for the portion sizes. Service quality varies from warm and attentive to slow and inconsistent, and a few guests mention long waits for appetizers or for desserts, especially during busy times. Some reviews single out standout items such as fattoush, tabbouleh, mansaf, kebabs, kibbeh nayyeh, and muhammara, while a few dishes are described as dry, oily, or bland, leading to mixed impressions. Overall, Abu el Zulof is regarded as a strong option for authentic Arab cuisine in Montreal with memorable ambiance and solid flavors, though visitors should be aware of potential fluctuations in service and value.
Best Ifar menu of the year 2025 with super delicious Frikeh & mezza. I highly recommend this restaurant for its authentic mediterranean food. Thank you chef Raymond!
The food is delicious. Our dinner was nicely accompanied by a live singer. Service was fast. The one thing is that it is a bit over priced. While the dishes are large, most mains are over 35$. & the cocktails are 21$ which is generally on the more expensive site. Despite that, I do recommend the Mouhammara & Makanek. It was truly delicious.
Malheureusement nous n'avons pas pu nous faire servir en français. C'est assez aberrant de ne pas pouvoir se faire servir dans sa propre langue au Québec. La nourriture était bonne. Le service était de base.
Sadly the food was not very good.. but service was good & there was live music. I am not certain but I suspect a lot of the reviews are fake? The pictures all look really simila
Highly recommend. We were beautifully seated. The food was absolutely delicious! We had the Tabouleh, Moutabbal, Mansaf, & Samke Harra. The portions were very generous & prices more than reasonable.
The food is soooooo good. The fattouche salad is the best I've ever had & the hummus was so smooth & delicious. We got the set menu with a mix of hot & cold plates so I tasted a lot of food & they were all good. The filet mignon was a highlight. The entertainment was also really good & the party atmosphere after 10 PM was fun to watch. I'll definitely be back for the food at an earlier seating - the party was fun, but too loud for my old ears. Highly recommend this resto - worth the high prices
